ADVENTURES IN A MAN'S WORLD: THE INITIATION OF A SPORTSMAN'S WIFE
Author: Courtney Borden
Publisher: STACKPOLE BOOKS, Feb 2005
Early 20th century stories of what happens when a pampered, upper-class city girl joins in the hunting action with her avid sportsman husband. Sisters of the Hunt Series. Foreword by Mary Zeiss Stange. 1 B&W photo; 6x9 inches, 272 pgs.
How does it happen that a nice, upper-class city girl, born at the turn of the twentieth century and raised to expect a life of pampered luxury, finds herself shivering in a frigid Saskatchewan duck-blind? Courtney Borden's husband, John Borden, was an avid sportsman, and she accepted his invitation to join in the action. So, the early-twentieth-century woman takes up upland bird shooting, waterfowling, fly fishing, and other outdoor sports.
WORDS BY THE AUTHOR:
Courtney Borden - "In a duck-blind your nose feels as though it belonged to someone else, and your frost-bitten hands you rather wish were not part of the same person who a short while before stood by a warm fire, waiting for the morning coffee to boil."
